2/1/26 - Moving Along With Times (Floral) & Dragonfly (Fun Fold) - Corner Flip card with Banner Saying

Happy first of February and both Moving Along with Time (Floral) & Dragonfly (Fun Fold) challenges went live today and I am making a card to fulfill them. I found a cute corner flip card and wanted to give it a try. It's a bit hard for me to do the cut because my trimmer doesn't have any measurement on the cutter so I created a template using JulieD's video. I picked 2 colors for the flower and added a sentiment. Hope you like my card and be sure to join us at the challenge.
